    She was one of the most amazing clients I have ever cared for . Her laugh was contagious and her humour was outmatched. Even when she wasn’t well she was always asking about how I was doing or my kids. She was one of a kind and I will forever remember her

    Arlene was a pleasure to spend time with. We had great conversations, she loved nothing more than to talk about how proud she was of her daughters and how much she loved her granddaughters. If I learned anything for her, it was to live in the present and love your family. She will be greatly missed. My heart felt condolences to the whole family.

    Unfortunately to hear this. My condolences to Christy and the whole family.

    The kind heart has indeed been transferred to your children. This was experienced first hand when Christy & George hosted me last year in London/Canada.

    Wishing the family all the best.
